Twisted Citrus -- Canton, OH

I was vaguely aware of the Twisted Citrus before I received a recommendation from a good friend who lives in the Cleveland area. She was in Canton visiting a friend and only had good things to say about their brunch at the Twisted Citrus. Dave and I love a good brunch, so after a slight sleep-in one Sunday morning we decided to try a brunch restaurant that was close by to our house and I remembered my friend's recommendation of the Twisted Citrus.

Although we were told that there was a twenty minute wait for a table, we probably only waited about ten minutes before being seated.

The decor is "citrus" themed, everything is bright orange, yellow, and green. Dave decided to stick with regular coffee, but after getting a glimpse of the specials, I was a bit more adventurous.

I ordered a Tequila Sunrise Mimosa -- a traditional mimosa with blood orange sorbet in the bottom of the glass. It was fun to see the blood orange sorbet float to the top of the drink as it melted.

For my meal I decided to order the Chef Special which was a veggie frittata topped with Florentine Sauce. This fittata came with my choice of toast and twisted potatoes which were home fries made of a colorful variety of fingerling potatoes.

Dave ordered the Morning Tacos vegetarian style complete with a load of vegetables, scrambled eggs, cheese, and pico de gallo.

In order to satisfy our sweet tooth we ordered one cinnamon roll pancake to split.

We thought all of the food was really good, Dave had suggested that I order the frittata, but I wish I had ordered the eggs benny florentine style, the frittata portion was just a little bit too big for me. Dave really enjoyed his tacos and finished all of those as well as most of my frittata. The cinnamon roll pancake was outstanding, especially with the cream cheese glaze and I would have been more than happy eating a stack of those for brunch.

I was glad to see a wide range of both savoy and sweet vegetarian options available for brunch, this is certainly a location that we'll be visiting again so that we can try more of the items. Everything we ate we liked and the sign of a good restaurant is if it's busy -- the entire time we were at Twisted Citrus it was packed and on a wait for tables.

My rating for the Twisted Citrus:

This morning we drove up to Cleveland to attend the 1st Annual Cleveland Donut Fest -- Donut Fest originated in Chicago, the first New York City event was held last year, making Cleveland the third city to host the event. According to an interview the organizer gave to Cleveland.com, the 1,000 tickets sold out in three hours. Dave and I were lucky enough to score two of those tickets for the 10:00-12:00 time slot.

Cleveland Donut Fest 2017 was held at the RedSpace, an event space best described by the tagline on their Facebook page "a raw space at HotCards" -- RedSpace certainly is raw, with very industrial elements. I appreciated that Donut Fest restricted access to two hour increments, it made navigating the vendors so much easier than the mess that could have been -- essentially there was just a winding line from Vendor 1 all the way through Vendor 12.

Tickets included the chance to sample donuts from twelve area establishments: Becker's Donuts; Bloom Artisan Bakery…

A few weeks ago a friend and I were lucky enough to snag two Groupons to The Crush House at Gervasi. Upon arrival we also found out that The Crush House has an extended Happy Hour on Thursday evenings until 8:00 p.m., so on top of the Groupon we also had access to discounted drinks and appetizers.

A week after my first visit, I went back to The Crush House with Dave to celebrate his new job. Since the visits were so close in time, I decided to hold off on posting in order to share even more information with you.

The Crush House is tucked in the back on the Gervasi Vineyard property and has multiple outdoor patio levels -- which is perfect for this time of year. Both times I arrived around 5:30 and was able to get a seat on the patio. The Crush House does not take reservations, but does call ahead seating starting at 5:00 p.m. nightly.

You read that right -- Yoga with Goats. Yoga with Goats classes started popping up at the end of 2016 and are one of the newest yoga crazes. We previously attended a Yoga with Cats event with adoptable cats (that's how we met and adopted our first cat, Cappuccino), but even if the goats were adoptable, Dave probably would not have let me bring one home.

Last month when I read about a Yoga with Goats class starting in Amherst, I knew that I needed to schedule myself in a class, no matter how inconvenient the drive might be for me. Usually Dave alone embarks on weird journeys with me, but this time my former intern, the goat loving 4H alumna Julia, joined us. She educated us on goats and goat etiquette on the drive to Amherst.

Goat Yoga classes are hosted by Threads of Wellness, a Lorain yoga studio, but the classes are held at Downs on the Farm, a non-profit founded to give people with developmental disabilities a place to participate in Animal Assisted Activities. The mission of …
